 * Oppose - This looks like the site has great potential. However, the railing is quite distracting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:23, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment — This Verinag panorama pic was what I had in mind when I made the suggestion at Mughal Garden below here
 * While the structure does appear to have "great potential," a different perspective might be necessary to obtain an illustrative view of useable dimensions. (Original file here is 15,687 X 2,954.) There must be other pix of such an interesting site — or could this panorama simply be nominated instead? Sca (talk) 14:43, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The dimensions are usable. But that sky has obviously been photoshopped in. You can see the haloing around the trees. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:12, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes. Too bad. Sca (talk) 16:24, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The fake sky is mentioned in the image description... But yes, that makes it an instant disqualification for me. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  20:31, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Lighting is quite average (washed out sky) and there is nothing compelling about the composition. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  20:33, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose Looks nice but the sky looks very unrealistic and doesn't go well with the trees. ///Euro Car  GT  05:38, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you made the same mistake that I did at first glance. The photo under consideration is not the one with the fake sky. It's the 'original' image at the top right. Sca, I've taken the opportunity to link to the 'alternative' photo you added, rather than show it in this nomination as it's quite confusing. &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  09:20, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries. You're the panoramaman. Sca (talk) 21:36, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Please evaluate the picture of place nominated above rather than discussing about the panorama of place. Akshey25 (talk) 13:12, 25 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose — Per User:Diliff. Sca (talk) 14:35, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Diliff evaluated the panorama. Please evaluate the nominated one. Akshey25 (talk) 06:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Diliff evaluated both. "Washed out sky" applies to this one. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:55, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose — Per User:Diliff as well. Composition leaves much to be desired as well. Saffron Blaze (talk) 13:57, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment--- Please evaluate the alternate one. Akshey25 (talk) 04:20, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment — I empathize regarding the difficulty of picturing a large circular structure. Alas, this view doesn't really show the general form of the basin or capture the majesty of the setting. The panorama referenced above (here) accomplishes this, but as noted the sky has been unacceptably flimflammed. The other pix at Verinag don't appear to offer a solution, sorry to say.
